Gasta Mobile news

Mobile social networking grew by 152% between November 2007 and November 2008 in Western Europe, according to ComScore.
The figures show that in November 34% of mobile social network users in Western Europe accessed social media exclusive of all other mobile web content.
The UK has the highest penetration of mobile social networking at 9%, nearly triple that of Germany, where the activity is the least popular at 3.3% penetration. The average penetration rate across all countries is 5%.
Alistair Hill, analyst at ComScore M:Metrics, said, "A large portion of the growth in the mobile internet audience can be attributed to social networking."
"In the UK, for example, the audience of those accessing news and information, but not social networking services, with their mobile browser or an application grew by 149,000 unique users, whereas the number of those exclusively accessing social networking grew by six times that number in the past year."
